I am trying to draw rectangles in the whole screen, not just in one particluar window. If I try drawing in root using XDrawRectangles, is will draw only in root and not in the subwindows that are on top of it. Is there any way I can draw over the whole screen by putting a transparent window on top of it or something? Incidentally, I am trying to do this because I am trying to create a "rubber band" to circle a area of the screen to dump. If anyone has done this or knows of a code in which this is done, please tell me. Any help would be greatly appreciated !! Alex Brown aob@beta.lanl.gov

Check out the subwindow-mode field of the drawing GC. IncludeInferiors cause the drawing area to include the inferior windows. Ken Lee DEC Western Software Laboratory, Palo Alto, Calif.
